If I'm going to hang only one, I'll usually hang it on the eastern side of the area I think the deer will be. However, if I think the deer will be coming from a direction other than from a westerly direction, I'll hang one elsewhere and wait for a favorable wind for that stand. I like to kill them on the approach rather than out in the plot, this is just about a must on a big plot. I have several can't miss places that have more than one stand up. That's the best plan. With the thermals in the mountains ya never know what it's gonna do.
I have one stand on a small plot that is on the East face of the Mt. To look at it one would think a Westerly wind would be perfect. It took me a couple of years to figure out I needed to hunt it on a South wind and kill the deer on the approach, rather than after they get to the plot. Now if I have a South wind, first time I hunt it, something is gonna die.

I always plan for some sort of West wind..... May be NW or SW...but it will be from the West 90% of the time....I also always carry a climber with me in the event I need to move over a tree or two or just change my set up altogether...... If the wind is to bad for the situation..... I do not hunt it..... I'll hunt another location.....
